    So many wonderful layers to this song. Songs nowadays dont have these kind of layers.

    Bloody brilliant. And makes you realise how fresh this song sounds compared to modern day crap, even though it is over 30 years old.

      This arrangement was a cornerstone of the e/music industry in the 80s. PERIOD! Far be it for me to endeavor to speak the technical language, but the minor "coloring" with other elements innundated your senses with shades of light, shadows, odors and aromas, fear, hopelessness, lust, et al in ways that the video could NEVER approach!
      Don't try to correct perfection! That keyboardist NAILED IT, and this cover captures the original note for note!
      Would love to see a time lapse fade of all instruments played in real.....wait...txt me and I'll try to record it for you, as a thank you gesture!

      Agree...those strings are to die for. PSB of the 80s is my favorite band of all time. Their great skill along with great producers created a dream of music and remixes and B-sides in the 80s. If anyone could let me know what the Emulator II string patch they used, that will be great. It seems to have high attack and release times...

    What's particularly good about this is not just the accuracy of the sounds.. but your mixing. It sounds right in line with a classic SSL 9000 mix, with the right amount of buss compression. Plus the verb and gating on the drums is just spot on. Nicely done.
